Investigators say a 33-year-old man was gunned down Tuesday night just as he was returning to his home in Maple Ridge.

Sgt. Adam MacIntosh, a spokesman The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, said Trevor Koehler of Maple Ridge was found with multiple gunshots at a home in the 10300-block of 240th Street. He would not say whether the man lived with his parents.

Mounties were called shortly after 10 p.m. to the report of a shooting in the area. Koehler was transported to hospital where he was pronounced dead.

IHIT members were contacted and have taken over the investigation.

Investigators are looking for a light coloured, possibly white or cream compact import car. MacIntosh said it’s possibly a Honda, Toyota or Acura. He said the description of the suspect’s car is based on interviews with several different witnesses.

“Unfortunately when you are dealing with eye witnesses, you have varying descriptions, so this is based on a number of different indicators.”

Koehler had no criminal record and was not known to police.

MacIntosh said this does not appear to be gang related and the motive is yet to be confirmed.

“At this early stage of the investigation we can say Trevor was the victim of a targeted attack and this was not a random occurrence. IHIT continues to work with the Ridge Meadows RCMP to determine why this shooting occurred and who is responsible.” said MacIntosh, in a statement.
